Supreme Court Grants Bail to Alleged Bangladeshi National in Transborder Trafficking Case

The Supreme Court granted bail to a man accused of being a Bangladeshi national involved in a transnational human trafficking syndicate.

A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi noted that the petitioner had been in custody for approximately 2.5 years since his arrest in November 2023.

While the NIA alleged his involvement in trafficking persons from Bangladesh and Myanmar, the Court observed that the trial should be expedited.

Bail was granted subject to stringent conditions, including seizing his passport, informing the NIA of his residential address for verification, and reporting to the agency every Saturday.
